Photos of ‘19 Ram towing your boat

[RedRocketZ28]

Some nice boats everyone has. I just pulled her out of indoor, winter storage today. Haven't weighed this one yet, should be just over 8,000lbs. Ram pulls it well.

Two boats ago with the Ram 2500 I had at the time...

And my last boat, over 13,500lbs, held 170 gallons. Needless to say, I didn't tow it.

What size is the red Four Winns? I highly doubt it weighs over 8,000 lbs even with the trailer. Our 26’ Mariah doesn’t even weigh that.

Here it is behind my old 2500 Suburban.

Good catch.... about 6300lbs with the trailer. Forgot FW has the trailer weight listed with the smaller boat specs.

Red is an '08 240 at 6,300lbs with trailer.
Blue is an '04 268 at 9,300lbs with trailer.
Black is an '08 318 at 14,000lbs - no trailer.

Wasn’t trying to be an ***! Lol. Nice boat for sure. We used to have a 98 18’ Four Winns with a 5.0L. Upgraded to the Mariah a few summers ago.

No worries. I've switched out boats every other year except we kept the 318 for 5 years and am going on year 2 with the 240. Hard to keep it straight!

How did you find out your boat's weight... I'm Just going by whats Lis ted on my boats website

Take it to the CAT scales. My boat and trailer is 900 lbs heavier than the advertised weight. Apparently the "options" are not counted.

Close to 7.5k with trailer and fuel. 5.7 etorque with 3.21's. Towed A LOT better than I expected!

Last three of my five boats. Need to snap a photo of the new Ram pulling the last one I bought this last Summer.

How much does that boat / trailer setup weigh and how is towing it? I have a friend who is being offered a 19' KW at a hard to pass up price and he asked me if I knew about the weight. He's contemplating if he has to seasonal dock it vs towing 2 hours for our typical trips through the season.

It weighs roughly 6000lbs with trailer pulls it with no problem

Bring your truck and boat to a truck stop that has a scale. they will be able to tell you weight per axel.

I have a 22’ Key West and I used to tow it with my 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. They are super light boats for their size. Blessing for towing, curse in the chop. She will get you home safely though. I’ve been caught in 6-8’ seas and never felt unsafe, just have to pick your line, trim up a bit, and plow through it. Once she gets air she slams pretty bad.

Not a great pic but at least it’s clean. Just got the boat out of storage.

Looks great man. I’m impressed that there really isn’t any noticeable squat with that lift.
